What is a commutable distance for travelling during a VS? Is there a set time that determines if you are within a commutable distance for a law firm? @Jessica Booker

I used to travel 45 mins door to door (one way) that was considered to be fine in London. I stayed in Wembley Park and used to travel to Bank😭

Would a lawyer do this just for the views? Am I naive in thinking that someone in the legal profession would hold themself out to a higher standard?
Winston WG but I don't even know if I can do this scheme anymore as I've already begged my full time employer for leave to do my other scheme 💀💀 It's a problem for if I receive the VS offer I guess
Does Winston and strawn only give out 2 TC offers???? That’s mad!!!
Also unpopular opinion but I really really suck at Watson Glaser and i literally prefer amberjack over them😭 any tips please?

Well, give it a shot, take it as it comes and deal with it later😭 especially if it’s a firm you would want to train at.
The lack of TCs will have reduced the number of applicants (I didn’t look at W&S for example) so don’t lose hope!
watch me beg them to give one of those through direct tc 💀
Probably Naive yes.
Has anyone heard back from Aspiring Solicitor's Sky internship?
Congratulations! This is such a huge achievement! Could you kindly share any tips on preparing for the AC? I'd really appreciate it.DLA Piper London Vac scheme offer!
Thanks so much to the entire TCLA team for your help, really appreciate everyone’s support
Can anyone give any insight into Orrick's AC - its 6.5 hours but only has a written exercise and group presentation?!
